KABC Channel 7, live broadcast
Posted on 09/21/2005 4:21:43 PM PDT by kingu
A Jet Blue aircraft just did a low altitude flyby of Long Beach airport after reporting some concern with their forward gear. The television helicopter caught an image of it - the gear is turned sideways and tilted.
Aircraft is heading out towards the ocean to drop fuel, will turn around, and attempt a 'soft field' landing, keeping the nose up as long as possible.

Is the A320 still dumping fuel?
I switched channels to Mythbusters (building a jetpack).

Fly Jet Blue! They let you bring your pet on the plane with you for $50 as long as it's under 20 lbs

No...they are moving trams to the plane.....I would think they would want to make sure that front gear is stable.
